Canon ELPH 300 / IXUS 220 announcement clippings

The IXUS 220 HS offers users exceptional shooting flexibility, thanks to a genuine Canon ultra-wide angle 24mm lens with 5x optical zoom and a highly-effective optical Image Stabilizer. Providing greater framing versatility, the lens allows users to fit even more into a frame at the wide end of the lens, and to reach more distant subjects with the 5x optical zoom. Canon's leading optical Image Stabilizer also compensates for camera shake to prevent image blur at the telephoto-end of the zoom, or when shooting in low light – capturing sharp, detailed images in all conditions when shooting handheld.

A large, high quality 6.7 cm (2.7") PureColor II G LCD is perfect for image framing, playback and menu navigation. The 230k-dot resolution ensures fine levels of on-screen detail, and a tempered glass outer layer provides a wider viewing angle with excellent colour reproduction and high contrast. The tempered glass design also offers outstanding durability, and Hints & Tips throughout the interface give a short explanation of camera features, helping users to learn about their camera as they use it.
